#587. We head into the World Cup with United securing a late victory at Craven Cottage. This wasn't a perfect performance, but it was an entertaining one - personified by Alejandro Garnacho's injury time winner. A star is born. Episode recorded before a washed up old hack heard a washed up old footballer complain about being irrelevant. ** No Question About That is listener supported.

#585. Victory for United but defeat in the pursuit of first place in the Europa League group. Ten Hag's men will now face a two-legged playoff against a Champions League loser next February. Ed & Dan digest a strong first half and a weird second half at Anoeta. Then it's on to Villa at the weekend.

#584. Another important win, another step forward under Ten Hag. Perhaps this United side has something about them after all. It wasn't fluent against West Ham at Old Trafford, but United dug in at important times and held out for a win, three points, and yet more evidence of progress. Ed & Tom discuss and then look forward to Thursday's game against Real Sociedad in the Europa. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad choices.

#583. United beat Sheriff at Old Trafford, but all anybody wants to talk about is Antony's 720 degree spin. Was it entertainment? Was it showboating? Both, perhaps, though the pundits seem to be united in their condemnation. Ed & Wayne wonder when it became against the rules to have fun. ** No Question About That is listener supported.

#582. United come back from a goal down to secure a very late draw at Chelsea. A fantastic point gained or disappointment that superiority over the 90 minutes didn't result in victory? Ed & Dan discuss. There's much to unpack, including another excellent performance by goalscorer Casemiro, Rafael Varane's injury and another step forward under Ten Hag. ** No Question About That is listener supported.

#581. Probably the best performance under Ten Hag, perhaps even for many years. United were dominant against Spurs at Old Trafford; a dynamic performance that offers some insight into the team that the manager is still trying to build. Ed & Dan thoroughly enjoyed it. But it can't only be good news, can it, with Cristiano Ronaldo dominating the headlines by leaving the game and ground early. In this week's interview, Ed talks to author Ryan O'Hanlon about his new book, Net Gains. ** No Questi...

#580. United vs Saudi FC at Old Trafford. That state of modern football. Wearing the national team colours, Newcastle left with a point, but it really should have been victory for Ten Hag's side. United were robbed by the ref and VAR and guilty of missing two huge chances. Ed & Tom look back on a frustrating afternoon. ** No Question About That is listener supported.

And while the Bard is not known to have been a Manchester United fan, he would surely have enjoyed The Scottish Player (II) stroking home a fine late winner.

The win leaves United in a decent position to qualify from the group stage but may need to beat Real Sociedad away later this month to top the group.

#576. City smash United. Again. It's getting sickeningly familiar. Despite winning the second half, Ed & Dan have very little good to say about United's performance. Did Erik ten Hag get the system and approach wrong? Probably. But would United have lost anyway? Yeah, maybe. At least there's another game coming up, with United playing on Thursday afternoon in Cyprus. Joy. ** No Question About That is listener supported.

Momentum is lost, and while the manager needed to freshen up, the step down from his preferred XI is quite a drop.

#569. It has been a good week. That's what smashing the Scousers will do for you. Ed & Dan look back on a week without recriminations and forward to better things to come for a United side that is edging towards "not being totally crap." What does the future now hold for Cristiano Ronaldo, Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw, the main losers from United's winning week. Then there's the market, with United (apparently) prepared to pay absolutely crazy money for Ajax' Anthony. ** No Question About Tha...

Frenkie De Jong still hasn't signed; the club is apparently closed to acquiring Adrien Rabiot; there may be a bid in for Cody Gakpo; and Eric ten Hag apparently wanted Marko Arnautovic. You what?!

#564. Ten Hag begins with a defeat. It was predictably awful from United for much of this game. The club has spent the summer avoiding central midfielders like they’re the plague and it showed, with Scott “Eight Completed Passes” and Fred giving ample evidence of that in the first half. Not that anybody bar the owners thinks McFred is a sustainable option. There is so much work to be done. But the game is almost secondary to the negligence the club has shown this summer. 18 players out, three in...
